Knitting Nirvana!

I don't know if it's just me or if this is more common. this is what I call it when I'm knitting, and I'm completely cognizant of my surroundings, but my mind is at multiple places. I'm knitting, however it's more reflex action and visual acuity, I'm not counting although it's a complex pattern, I'm using visual references only. My mind is also somewhere else, thinking of a song, a conversation, a movie, a laundry list of thoughts. But yet fully aware of what is going on physically around me, a conversation, physical movement colors, sound. Although my mind is consuming and processing all this information, simultaneously, I find it the most relaxing and calming part of knitting. Does anyone else experience this! And yes! I'm drug free! LOL!

I really like to have an audio books vs. tv when i knit. I've really been getting into the habit of counting every stitch (even when they're the same as the previous row) just to keep my accuracy. Its really tightened up my knitting. But having a knitting funk really does get the work done.
